I've had a private report of these error messages in a test of Hot
Standby, but IMHO these aren't related to that patch. It seems more
likely to be related to the new VACUUM code? Certainly hot standby does
nothing to the normal flow of existing WAL records.

PANIC:  WAL contains references to invalid pages

The WAL record was destroyed before it could be analysed, so we can't do
much for now.

Ideas please?
